[Intro] Aight, now it's getting serious (Please don't take it personal) I gotta talk to these ladies 'cause (But I gotta go and work some more) I don't think y'all get the point (And I know deep down it hurt your soul) Do you know who I am? (But I'm a blue collar worker, girl) Come on!
[Chorus] Now please don't take it personal But I gotta go and work some more And I know deep down it hurt your soul But I'm a blue collar worker, girl
[Verse 1] Now it's a long road ahead of me Eyes wide open tryna rock my flow steadily Tryna stay focused so these broads don't get to me But dog it gets hard 'cause they sing so heavenly Humming "Stay With Me" trying to make my day as sweet As some Tiombe on a Sunday, with a cup of Angel's tea I'm tryna find the happiness that couples claim to be But it's hard to balance loving when you busting over beats Sounds strange but it's hard to explain it over beats In the lab daily, rocking two or three shows a week Going mad crazy, stressing over press and your release Tryna please labels while you keep your rep up in the streets At the same time tryna breathe And on your down time, tryna find a fine breeze But see I'm underground, so now I gotta find cheese Just to take her out to dinner, just to eat and get a kiss up on the cheek And for me it's even harder, 'cause I ain't got a car to pick 'em up in So chicks already think they put enough in Plus I'm kind of cute so it's hard for them to trust him Asking what I'm doing every night like I be screwing every night, what? Truth is I'm bruising every mic that I come across And every now and then, drop a hundred off Just so you can fucking floss but that's not enough for you So I take another loss, wondering why I fucked with you Knowing I got stuff to do
[Chorus] And I won't take it personal But deep down it hurt my soul But I'll just go and work some more Cause I'm a blue collar worker, girl And I won't take it personal But deep down it hurt my soul But I'll just go and work some more Cause I'm a blue collar worker, girl
[Verse 2] They say misery loves company (word?) But I don't need shit so don't come to me And I don't eat dick so don't cum to me When you see me in a fucking Beamer Leaning tough as fiends with winter fever Your nose itching, hoes wishing he was a keeper Fucked up girl, he was a keeper Fuck the papers, shit, he was the reefer Now he's meaner than meaner Was sweet, now he keeps his heart next to his Nina And you used to see him, saving up his money from shows To get her a rose, turning down ridiculous hoes All he wanted was a chick with his back, but his chippers was wack Now he adding on the Royce when he rolls Sounds smoother with his voice when he flows, missed out Keep woofing all you want girl, I'm in a brick house With a thick spouse, pimped out, blue diamond dripped out In my helicopter love, fuck your little Benz, bounce What you think I work for, huh?
[Chorus] Please don't take it personal But I gotta go and work some more And I know deep down it hurt your soul But I'm a blue collar worker, girl And please don't take it personal But I gotta go and work some more And I know deep down it hurt your soul But I'm a blue collar worker, girl
[Interlude] Now, now y'all know I love y'all You know wha' I'm saying? Ladies, hah But y'all be fronting and shit, hah (for real) Y'all be acting like y'all don't want me to work And then when I don't work Y'all act like I don't do enough work I need more cheese, and I need this And you need that, fuck that But hey, don't take it personal (Come on, y’all)
[Chorus] Please don't take it personal But I gotta go and work some more And I know deep down it hurt your soul But I'm a blue collar worker, girl So please don't take it personal But I gotta go and work some more And I know deep down it hurt your soul But I'm a blue collar worker, girl
[Outro] When Sunny gets blue —ny gets blue —ny ge— And the rain begins to fall —ny gets blue —ny ge— And the rain begins to fall
